Today’s
word to draw is card with is Power: “The
ability or capacity to do something or act in a particular way or to direct or
influence the behavior of others or the course of events.” So I was wondering what would increase this ability for me and I
drew: “Joy, Rejoice the Present” from the Halloween Oracle. The mere sight of
this card gave me a jolt of energy. A feeling
of bliss and physical alertness. It is for everybody more than obvious how experiencing
Joy can give a boost to our energy levels. Why then is it so hard to remember
to be aware of those little things in the present moment that will bring us joy or even more difficult, to seek out joy as a conscious act of self care?
When you
look closely to the girl in this card you will notice that she doesn't smile, yet...
She is opening herself up though to the warmth of the Autumn sun, the bright oranges
and yellows nature has painted this day with and the rustling sound of the falling
leaves. It is as if she is consciously invoking her power from the beauty all
around her. I am sure when she puts down her hands there will be a smile on her face.
Today I
will carry my Sun stone with me as a reminder to actively seek Joy in the here and now
